[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 322362, member: 2459"] Aninom, I do want to stress a thing or two also since there have been some rather "emphatic" replies, mine included. First, YOU ARE VERY WELCOME HERE! This sounds like a good place for you with your situation. Second, sometimes it's hard to read a tone of voice over the computer. Please keep in mind that when we give what sometimes seems to be very blunt advice, we're not trying to be harsh. We give advice based on experience and while we all may not know EXACTLY what you are dealing with, we do know what we're talking about. It doesn't matter if you've been here for years for for a couple of days because once you've found us, we take you in and tell it like it is like friends do. When someone posts and says, this is what's going on, what do you think? .....we tell you exactly what we think. Granted, [U]sometimes[/U] we will tell you the difficult child equivilent of "NO, your butt looks GREAT in those pants!" but generally, you will get a straight answer. The answer may not be what you wanted to hear or it may not be what you expected but you'll always get the truth (as we see it :winking: ) from us. I just wanted to make sure you understand we tell it like it is because we care and not because we're crabby. LOL At the same time, one of our favorite sayings is "take what you need and leave the rest". What we think a person should do may not be the most feasible thing at times so take what you can from whatever we say. There is one other thing that I've been debating on saying and I am going to go ahead and say it. Something you might want to consider if you haven't already is to see a counselor yourself to help you deal with the past and learn how to handle you sister in the future in a way that is safe and healthy for both of you. Again, you are more than welcome here and I hope you haven't taken our responses in a negative manner. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
